Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of Lenovo End Point Devices, with WCL UK Ltd awarded the contract. The procurement falls within the Hardware industry category and focuses on goods. This contract involves the supply of 170 laptops with a 3-year warranty starting from 15 August 2025. This process utilised a direct award method without prior publication of a call for competition, adhering to the East of England Broadband Framework. The procurement was conducted under a compliant, limited procedure due to its classification as outside the directive's scope, reflecting adherence to legal bases such as CELEX 32014L0024. The contract covers delivery to the UKG region, specifically addressing public sector needs identified by the West Midlands Combined Authority, a regional authority located in Birmingham.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and support of ICT hardware solutions. Firms capable of fulfilling large-scale orders within specialised frameworks such as the East of England Broadband Framework could find this domain lucrative. Large enterprises with the capability to deliver high volumes of devices and accompany them with comprehensive warranty packages would likely be well-positioned to compete in similar direct award processes, given WCL UK Ltd's selection for this procurement. Additionally, organisations looking to expand their presence in the public sector market will find strategies aligned with regulatory compliance and precise fulfilment of tender specifications advantageous for growth.
